Hey, remember the soulmate au by tiyoin(?) I recently read your post abt idia and Leona reacting to yuu being their mates, but I wanna take it a step further since I saw idias line abt the family curse (this has yandere implications so if it's not your cup of tea please feel free to just ignore, nothing is outright mentioned tho)
What if yuu has a family curse similar to the aishi family in yandere simulator? (It's been years since I touched the game so if the lore changed I'm basing it off of 2018 ish lore, just with my own twist) basically yes, yuu CAN feel emotions, they're just muted and barely there. Given the right conditions (like falling in love or spending time with friends) and/or antidepressants they'll basically be like any other person, without them it's like a less severe version of the aishi women pre-falling in love
So, afab ppl born in yuus family, once falling in love, start losing their sanities and adopt yandere like behavior (stalking, increasing rage and jealousy, willingness to murder, etc) unfortunately this means they usually die young (20s or 30s) how quickly/young they die is based on their willpower (resisting the urges) and when/if they fall in love (so someone falling in love for the first time in their 40s and having insane willpower, caving in 20 years later in their 60s has more luck than a 16 year old falling in love and caving in almost immediately). Unfortunately everyone is a carrier, men carry the gene and can pass it to their daughters, but it only presents in the women/afab ppl, so transfems won't be affected but transmascs will.
What if yuu fell in love already (in their own world) and has just been doing a really REALLY good job at Resisting The Urges™️. Like, sometimes they slip up and cave in to anger or get ridiculously jealous, but they try their hardest to tamp down the feelings. Yuu has sworn off falling in love (again) and has given up their dream of having a big family bc of the curse, they're even distancing themselves from their object of affection in an attempt to "be normal again" at the cost of their own sanity.
So yuu gets transported to twst, and without their darling, they have the chance to be normal again, assuming they can get past the initial panic frenzy. Then the soul bond is revealed and they just go "nope. Not this shit again" and spouts cryptic messages about a family curse and swearing off love. I'm pretty sure most of the boys would feel a bit hurt by that lmao
This is mostly made for idia since his segment is what sparked the idea in the first place, but which characters from most to least likely do you think would try to pursue mc and figure out the truth to leave them alone and try to move on? I personally can't see someone like kalim giving up on both but I think the octatrio would try to look for the truth but be 50/50 on pursuing yuu or dropping them like a hot potato. Idia I think would try to relate to yuu and try to pursue them, but I think he'd probably be a bit put off once yuu starts dropping hints about the curse (he's a weeb so it won't take long for him and maybe Ortho to put 2+2 together and figure out the curse)
tiyon's soulmate au can be found here, their first post inspired some asks, which led to my own soulbound au the rules of which can be found here. Please support tiyon and interact with their soulmate au! They're a very creative blog and deserve the attention~ give them some reblogs!
so. uh. I got this ask when I first woke up and 1) very happy to hear from you Rose, always lovely to get a new ask and 2) yandere? sim? has lore? I did not think people actually played the game? help. i've fallen and misplaced my life alert. As a rule I don't really write for a Yuu who is just x character from y game/anime (it is in my rules) so while I was at work realizing I might be old I was trying to think of a way to do this that wasn't just yan sim (I wanted something properly gn) and I think I've got something? I am currently beating away the desire to info dump on you about the myth of Sigurd and Brunhilde (i could scream about that for hours oh god oh please i have written an actual au for that but efkjbekjrgbjrthnytrh) So here is the basic idea:
Yuu ran afoul of a witch in their world and was appropriately cursed. Given the myth I was inspired by I don't think Yuu did anything bad, but they still made the witch mad so they got cursed to lose all reason should they ever fall in love.
"You will be thine own destruction!" Cackles the witch and Yuu, who is actually normal unlike trey this person takes a deep breath and resigns themselves to researching a way to minimize the effects and maybe break it? They don't know they thought magic was fake until they thought they were just doing a favor for someone but turns out they pissed off Baba fucking Yaga.
They start to isolate themselves since they notice the curse starting to eat at them when they are around anyone the love; they consider going back to the witch and asking for further clarification but they can't seem to find them anywhere so they take some deep breaths and do their best to just be normal.
When they end up in Twisted Wonderland, and start feeling... weird. And it only gets worse when Crowley speculates that they might have been brought to Twisted Wonderland because they posses a soulbond.
And Yuu immediately freaks out because they don't want to kill anyone.
Now as for your question for who would try to pursue Yuu vs just leave them... well I don't really like writing un reciprocated feelings so I hesitate to say any of the cast would drop Yuu. In my au it isn't possible for soulbonds to not be reciprocated, and they are already sort of seen as a curse by mages so this... complication might not be normal but it isn't unexpected if that makes sense. Which would probably make Yuu swearing off love hurt even worse.
Kalim wouldn't want to abandon Yuu. Not ever, no matter how much of a danger they could be to him. Hell, he's willing to forgive people who are trying to poison him on the off chance they might regret it. But he is the heir of House Al-Asim, and I could see his dad paying someone to take Yuu out to keep his son safe. Something Jamil sees coming from a mile away and has to just keep quiet about. Something I can see Jamil feeling bad about, he might not like Kalim but you didn't ask for anything that happened to you. And yet the Asim's took your life from you anyway.
Have to disagree about the octatrio just a bit. Floyd would be into this. And so would Jade. But especially Floyd, oh hee hee ha ha his soul mate wants to kill him? Say less he is on his way to get his ass eat beat with an engagement ring in hand. Both he and Jade would be a little disappointed when the curse is broken and you aren't actively trying to kill him anymore... maybe you could try and poison him huh? Like old times?
I wrote 20 paper pages of soulbond au stuff for Azul so I will try to be brief here but... I don't think this situation would be one that made him try to break the bond. He has... complicated feelings about soulbonds already. If anything I could see him thinking he deserves this.
Now Idia. He's complicated. Pre-overblot he has given up on the concept of breaking his own curse, and I could see him feeling the same way about yours. Ortho on the other hand... even before he gets his soul he wants to help. After the overblot I can see Idia pursuing Yuu determined to find the truth and save them. Not that he wouldn't interact with them before that, he's a bit nihilistic so I can see him just making a bunch of jokes about the situation or promising to let Yuu kill him "after this next round." Or just straight up asking them to when he has to hit pity in one of his gachas. It's just cringe enough that it snaps Yuu out of the curse fog for long enough for the two of them to be normal around each other. And by normal I mean incredibly awkward
Anyway that's all I've got. Thank you for the ask ♡

Beelzebub's hobbies that the game refuses to use cause the devs don't know shit
I did a smaller post like this on twitter a few months ago but I wanna do it cause everyone deserves to hear me rant about Beel.
Especially that he is so underutilized by the devs! Not only does he got plenty of interests that are only mentioned in devilgrams, but he insists on teaching MC about them EVERY TIME so they could share interests and spend time together.
Example 1:
Tumblr media
In this devilgram we are showed not only how good Beelzebub is at surfing, fact that is never brought up in the story or events(as far as I know) he teaches MC how to surf too!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even if MC is nervous about it he just reassures them and tries to teach them and does a really good job cause in the same day MC is able to surf
Example 2:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Beel is good at snowboarding too! Not only that, he is one of the top 5 snowboarders in the Devildom. If he didn't quit he could have made it to top 3! And again in this Devilgram Beel insists of teaching MC how to snowboard as a way to share his hobbies. And once again, a pretty good fucking teacher since MC learns how to do it in one day. Sure they nearly fall once but Beel is there to catch them.
Example 3:
Tumblr media
Beel is not only good at various sports but he is good at playing the sax too!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He didn't touch the god damn instrument in 200 years and he was still good. And he gets back at his past level really fast too. And again he teaches MC how to play the saxophone
Tumblr media
Not only does he teach them how to play it, he even makes them participate on a show with him, and both him and MC are loved by the public.
Beel has so many interests that are never used despite them being right there! I know it's because they are in Devilgrams but still! A small mention of them wouldn't hurt.
And another important fact, let's not forget how Beel insists on always including MC in his interests so they could spend more quality time together. This devilgrams lowkey confirm how both quality time and acts of service are his main love languages!
The only interest that the devs keep on mentioning is the one he has for Devilcat which makes an appearance in 2-3 devilgrams and his 2023 birthday event. While it's sweet they at least use that interest the other 3 should also be used! And I can bet all of my money that he is good at even more sports.

Heirs of The Moon
m.list
CW: not proofread cuz i wrote this mid class lmao, mentions of sex, drugging and death (not the mc), dysfunctional family
Summary: Since the death of Crepus Ragnvindr, His two sons have all but severed ties with each other. Only speaking when they must. And neither brother ever fails to remind the other of the reason why. However strong their hatred for each other, they never managed to show such disdain towards their little sister. But perhaps hate would have been kinder then neglect.
Note: This is based off the theory that Pierro is Kaeya's father, and that the Tsaritsa is collecting gnosis to rebel against celestia

Chapter 2: Watchers in The Wall
night gathers and now my watch begins
Mondstat. The Great City of Wind and Wine. Full of Songs and Bards and Freedom to do as one wishes.
It felt real, sitting atop the tallest windmill in the main city, looking down at the people, packing up their things to go to home. Take a rest, eat dinner. The simplicity and uniqueness of every person she took a glance at made her smile, just a little.
The things she never got to enjoy, will never get to experience without casting a cautious glance back.
The things she has protected on behalf of others. While everyone goes to bed, only two people remain awake
it shall not end until my death.
While Diluc takes the supposed mysterious and lowkey job of a vigilante, she takes it as an opportunity to gather information. Get blackmail, intel. Interrogate
She cared not for the wellbeing of others who would not give a shit about hers, had they seen her in danger. Diluc was glorified hero, whilst Lady Albrich, and to her dismay, Her brother Kaeya—were most skilled in strategy and scheme. More her then him, since he too had decided to join the Knights, an incapable lot if you asked her
I shall take no wife, hold no lands. father no children
The last door shut, and her watch began. Pulling a hood over her head, she took a seemingly leisurely walk down the walls of mondstat. Heels clicking, loudly, challengingly, and yet it had no source.
Since the beginning of the end of Autumn in Mondstat, this sound had been one repeating almost every night. It faded to one wall and became louder in the other, surrounding the city and taking it hostage in its grasp
i shall wear no crowns. win no glory
It was eerie, irritating to the ear until it made you wanna scream to drown out the sound. And just when you thought you couldn't take it anymore....
i am the shield that guards the realms of men
It stopped, and seemingly turned into a specific intersection before fading into its victims home.
Today, it was Mikail. For the time being he was no victim but an ally. A Fatuus stationed in Mondstat to report back to his superior, and the intel would get to Lord Tartaglia.
It was amusing really. The ginger truly was a puppy to play fetch with. The Fatui had seemingly bored Mondstat and decided to keep a lazy eye on it. Up until recently when Y/N had made her next move. Did Pierro order more personnel into the city of freedom to watch her.
i am the sword in the darkness
And Mikhail, was to be her plaything until she got all she needed.
Men like him were so easy, anything for a person with a set of tits. Especially when war and violence is added into the equation. Soldiers throw themselves at women's feet for a chance to bask in pleasure before the pain
And Y/N knew how to play them to her needs. Her brothers were aware of her silver tongue, it seemed to run deep in Albrich family. What else she did though, was up to their imagination
Despite hating their little sister they never wanted to acknowledge the sinful things she did. The rumors that went about. They decided to close an ear when it came to things that made their skin crawl to think about her being in. Diluc couldn't give two shits about her fairs until it involved violence. Only then would he almost sound like he cared. Since he didn't pay mind to it when it was his brother the culprit.
Tsk, Tsk. Father wouldn't be pleased
The so-called gentlemen he raised broke up the family they had. How sad
Nonetheless, she knocked a pattern on the door, and was instantly let in by an all too eager, silver-haired male.
Y/N chuckled, "Eager are we? You know what I want Mikhail, do it for me and ill give you what you want." Luckily, this was her last day in his home.
He gazed up with wondrous but annoyed eyes. "Later Later, please i really need you today." He gripped onto her arm, tugging her. But she didn't budge
Y/N lifted her foot off the ground and shoved it into his chest, making him sit, keeping a steady hold on his lower stomach with it. "I won't give you anything if you aren't good to me. That's only fair." He sighed, raising his bare arms in surrender.
"The Balladeer has been turned into a God in Sumeru, soundly defeated by the Traveler however."
She raised a brow, "The Jester allowed this? Doesn't he have hate to all archons and adepti? Even his snow queen gets the stink eye."
"It was an experiment, if they could use it to infiltrate and further progress to Her Majesty The Tsaritsa's goal, it was nothing him and The Doctor couldn't tinker with."
"Is that so? Do you know where The Doctor is now? I heard he returned to Scheznaya." She let go of him and began to take off her coat and heels, making herself comfortable.
Quickly, he hurried to tell her what he had. "Yes, he is. Reporting to Her Majesty, He doesn't plan to leave soon. Make haste." Mikhail grabbed her by the waist and spun her around. Tackling her back to the couch he sat on a moment ago.
Within a few hours the last of her deal with the Fatuus was exchanged. Drying her hair as she quietly walked back into the bedroom, Y/N crouched down to the floor, instead of making a rukus to put her clothes back on, she began to fill a syringe in her bag with polluted water.
It was easy work. Slipping the needle into his arm pressing down gently and watched his body shiver and writhe while she took her time putting her clothes back on.
i am the watcher in the walls
She grabbed her bag and her cloak and quietly stepped out of his home, heels clicking once more as she began to make her way out of mondstat and to her home in Springvale.
"There you are~ " Spoke a voice deep, and familiar. Mocking and angry. She stopped and her glare set on her face naturally.
Turning around, she raised her chin high and looked down her nose.
"Mr. Ragnvindr, to what do I owee the pleasure on this fine night? Out for a stroll..
Darknight Hero?"
Night Gathers and now my watch begins
I hereby pledge my life to King Irmin and the homeland . For this Night, and All nights to come.

So idk why it has taken me so long to send this haha but seeing as how the lack of competent, non-doormat MCs in otomes have come up again here on your blog, I wanna share 2 I've found that fit the bill (idk if you've heard of em):
I Love You! is sweet and short. There's 3 LIs and multiple endings. It's funny too. Only downside I'd say is that because it's short I think it can make some interactions seem too tacky I guess since it all has to fit in... but I liked it :)
Then Tailor Tales . I'm still busy with it. Since I got a job I don't have time anymore lol, but I think it has the most potential and I think you can kinda be a soft or hard-ish dom (to use those terms, but it's called "fierce" levels in the game lol), and so there is eventual nsfw moments. But it's wholesome for the most part. Idk if full game is out. Some downsides are that I personally don't like some of the cgs lol and the voice sound effects (so I just lower the volume of them).
Ever since I found Blooming Panic and OLBA through your blog, I've been infected by the need for more !! Truly a shame that we are deprived of proper submissive characters for Mc...
Hey!! Thank you so much for the recommendations! I've actually played both of these and enjoyed them both! @sweetmielie
I Love You! was short but a good past time and a nice refreshing game dynamic wise, you're right.
With Tailor Tales, there's actually a tag on the character profiles telling you if a character is submissive or dominant, which I liked. I've only played Dimitri's route, which is the only submissive character out at the moment, and I enjoyed his route a lot (although the n-sfw extra was underwhelming and he's not like, super submissive.)
However, Aiden's route I'm very excited for. His route isn't out yet but it's a n-sfw route fully based around a dom!MC and sub!Aiden dynamic. I'm really interested and looking forward to playing it whenever it comes out!
I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed Blooming Panic and OLBA on my recommendation! It's always nice to hear that! It is so sad that games with submissive characters are so rare.
I feel like I played Mystic Messenger and loved Yoosung so much that it set my interests forever XD Really, sometimes he would just say some wild shit on the chatroom in front of all his friends, like barking like a puppy because MC asked him to and I miss that energy so much :(

What do you think Unknown's interactions with an assistant who isn't the party coordinator MC would be like? Like, they came to Mint Eye on their own and were assigned to him via Rika or whatever to help with that plan. I know a lot of Unknown's behavior with his assistant is heavily based on a.) Him keeping you around even after you failed being the party coordinator, and b.) Him "having" when the mc the RFA doesn't, so I'm curious how it would be otherwise. This is an idea I've been thinking of writing for a while so I wanna hear what others think lol
Oh, well, that's not actually that complicated. Unknown's someone who values his mission more than anything. He wants revenge, and that's all he wants. He has told himself that the only plan he has is to get rid of Seven and V, and after that, he has nothing planned. All he wants is revenge and nothing else matters to him. He's different if we compare him to Ray because he wants his revenge but he also wants to have someone by his side who he can dote on and adore after he did what he needed to do for Mint Eye.
Unknown doesn't give a shit about anything but revenge. He tells you flat out that you are his eyes if you're the party coordinator. He wants to use you against the RFA like a puppet, and he does do this a lot in good endings and bad endings. He uses you as a way to plant seeds of weakness within the RFA. If they adore you, they'd burn for you at the Eternal Party. He has goals, and it's nothing personal, he doesn't hate you or anything. He just wants you to do a good job for him as he hacks into their systems and steals information and learns how to ruin their lives enough so that the Savior can win.
So, yes, a lot of the MCs that wind up being his assistant often wind up in the category of a failed MC that didn't go into the apartment as he asked, or he's stolen you because he wants you to adore him with such vigor that it would destroy the RFA to see that you turned your back on them and decided to care for someone else... someone who can give you what they never could. Those are interesting to tinker with since you've got some canon material to play around with and that takes you places.
However, if your MC was never involved with the RFA, you still have a chance to make an interesting story. For example, I recently finished writing an Assistant Story for Unknown last year where his assistant was a Believer, someone involved with Mint Eye and never knew the RFA closely. His interest is still subdued since he thinks that someone is going to get in his way more than they're going to help him. He's a loner who works better by himself since he's always been forced to do that.
In the case of the believer, he found something useful that he thought he could use to further his goals. As long as Unknown can find something useful that would give him a chance to destroy the RFA faster, that's certainly one way to force someone into working with him. He's blunt, he's annoyed, he's dry, and he's amused all at the same time. He pushes you around, he orders you to obey him, and there's nothing gentle about the way that he gets angry when Seven tries to hack into Mint Eye. He's your boss.
He's in charge. Don't tell him what to do. Don't think that you're allowed to decide what's going on. Unknown isn't known for being sweet or understanding. He's crass and he treats most things like a game since he's got no point of reference for human interaction. He is mean for the sake of being mean and most people avoid him and he likes it better that way. It's going to take a long time for anyone to make a bond with him because he puts up walls upon walls. He will show no weakness...
Unless he has night terrors and you see and hear something that you should never repeat. It frankly depends on your MC for how this will play out. Are you going to work with him without fuss? Are you going to challenge him? A lot of those details are going to change how this situation plays out. I think there's a chance to be close to him, but it's going to be the hardest fight of your life given his commitment to his revenge and the cult.
It's interesting when we see Believer MCs. But, if your MC is just someone he swept off the street simply because he thought you'd be useful, that's a can of worms that we can't quite identify in one single post. However, I'm always happy to dive into deeper ideas with this if you have them!

i really hate to be critical of zelda at all - i don't consume it in the way i would for example s*pernatural - where i am mad half the time and constantly throwing shit at the writers. zelda is like, My Happy Place. and i especially don't want to feel at all critical of a new game prior to playing it or before i finish it for the first time. i wanna do the first time in complete & total bliss as god intended. THAT BEING SAID...
it actually is kind of making me miss botw!! sorry!!!
firstly, the next time i hear someone say "totk is just botw but better" i am going to bite their face off. botw and totk do take place in the same hyrule, but they are completely separate games. i'm actually shocked at how many mechanics from botw don't exist in totk - the champion abilities have been changed, bombs work differently, there's no stasis or cryonis, etc etc
and ALL of the sheikah stuff has been straight up wiped out of the game as well, which changes a lot of the vibe. i know people really didn't like the divine beasts overall, but the totk dungeons are just the same thing with a different aesthetic, and it's really missing the like...they're BEASTS, you know? they move around. they're haunted. they got ghosts in em. for all the claims that totk is darker, it actually feels way more optimistic, because everyone always comes together to solve problems (which i LOVE i am not criticizing that choice!! but it is wildly different than in botw)
i complained a little at the time about botw's memories all taking place in the past, and there being no real story set in the present-day, but actually, after playing totk...it almost worked better that way! don't get me wrong, i love that this game is fuller and there's more going on, i'm absolutely going nuts over the story so far, but it felt like there was really not any "wrong" order to see the botw memories in, whereas the totk memories feel much more like there IS a right order, even if that order is nonlinear.
and like my absolute number one complaint re botw was the map. it's a perfect map, and it was a blast to explore, but now that i've seen it i feel like i've seen it. you know?? like when i replayed botw some of the joy was lost, because they designed it specifically so that the joy IS in exploration, and i explored it all already. i didn't 100% my first file, on the wii u, but after i 100%ed it on the switch, i had 100%ed it. and yeah like parts of this map are different (so far the biggest difference is in death mountain imo), and yes they've added caves and sky islands and the depths, but the caves and sky islands are tiny compared to the rest of the world, and the depths are the depths.
idk, like i know part of this is because i got about 70% of the way through the story and ground myself to a halt so i could do deep exploration re: shrines, seeds, etc to get stronger (the game gets harder every time you beat a dungeon and i am having my ass kicked constantly). and like what i'm exploring is the surface, which has remained the same in many places, especially the remote places one finds korok seeds. korok seeds are definitely the least fun you can have playing zelda, even if it still is a zelda game and a good time. but it is suuuch a bummer to for example like climb to the top of gutcheck rock and find it uninhabited or see kass's house standing empty. (his ass better be in some DLC.) the map wasn't made for totk, it was made for botw, and they did do a great job but in just a few places it's still an ill fit.
AND FINALLY, it is really annoying how people don't know link - the scrubbed sheikah stuff - like all these changes made specifically not to alienate people who haven't played botw are alienating people who HAVE. or me and mc at least lol. if the joy is seeing how hyrule's changed since you've been away, and the answer is "actually it forgot you, but not in a deliberate cool way that would fuck you up, just in a frustrating way," that's a let-down. NOT TO MENTION the lore-breaking going on...veteran players and youtube guys will be scratching their heads all the way up until the next one comes out.
idk!! most of the time this game blows my mind, because it's an expansion of botw, which was so good and so special - truly the same kind of lightning-in-a-bottle stuff oot was made of, and i don't hand that sort of praise out lightly. but sometimes i feel as though i'm playing botw2 and not totk and i'm like "man after 4 years is this really It?" and like yeah this is It. it's a great game and i'm still having fun - i fucking love my hoverbike - but it's just not QUITE as special or as elegant/tied together as botw was - its story was simple but i'm starting to appreciate that simplicity as being essential to a story with absolutely no fat on it whatsoever. and a simple story does help in not, you know, BREAKING YOUR OWN LORE.
you never know though! maybe after i see more cutscenes and hunt less koroks i will change my mind! i definitely hope so

i got the luke SR timely rescue and (SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!) i'll say it... he def knows some shit about rosa's parents like. the way he looked so nervous and changed topics when she was wondering aloud if her parents were doing a similar work luke does for the government? VERY SUS! I was kinda hoping he wouldn't bc I'm sick and tired of being lied to by him for the plot's sake but now I'm 100% sure he knows smth about her parents and has to keep it to himself
waah, congrats on timely rescue!!! when i started playing tot that was the regulay rotation SR i wanted the most (as in i wanted it before the game even rELEASED) and it took like, WAY TOO LONG TO ACTUALLY COME HOME LMAO
and YEAAAAA theres something v obviously going on with mc's parents that i assume luke either knows about and/or is directly linked to. it's been a while since i watched the card but i remember mc mentioning her dad was also rlly into shooting, and then theres in general just the whole "gone on a Top Secret Govt Research" which is exactly the same frigging excuse luke made about his own disappearance, very sus and my god, when will hyv release more deets about mc's parents JHAVFKJDSHFD it's been driving me nuts for ages and ages cuztherES SOMETHING THERE or at least it (whether intentionally or not) IS MADE TO LOOK LIKE SOMETHING IS THERE but i will be patient and wait for the story there to unfold naturally
and by "patient" i mean pacing back and forth in my braid 24/7
on the lying bit, it's not too surprising tbh taking into account the vague timeline of when SR Timely Rescue occurs. all of the regular SR cards take place pretty early on in the main story. if im remembering correctly, in timely rescue doesnt mc attribute luke's crazy good paintball shooting skills to him saying it was a "hobby" he picked up? like the govt work is known but not the NSB agent thing but if im wrong im v sorry, it's been like 10 months since ive watched this card JHVSKJDH. but yea if SR Timely Rescue does have that tidbit then yea, the card was set before main story 5 aka luke hasnt even fessed about the truth of his oWN JOB so it'd be absolutely way too early for him to even be thinking about fessing the truth on other ppl's involvement, esp ppl close to mc, since this is also the period of time hes still got it in his dumb pretty head that the best way to protect her is by keeping her in the dark
ridiculous and infuriating dude....//proceeds to kiss him passionately
oH WAIT theres another thing i remembered. in luke's bday event i distinctly remember mc mentioning that it was mc's parents who told her about His involvement in Top Secret Govt Project and thats why he could no longer come home for a long while.
i found that interesting, why did it have to go thru them specifically, sure, he couldve lied to them too and just wanted to tell them to tell her instead of him telling her directly because of his Overwhelming Guilt Of Hurting MC With His Absence but....idk idk idk maybe an implication that mc's parents, at that point, already knew that luke was doing nsb work? MANY THOUGHTS
but yea i wANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT MC'S PARENTS WHERE ARE THEY WHAT ARE THEY DOING AND LUKE! WHAT! DO! U! KNOW!!!

Hello everyone!! This is my latest narrative.
The record is by Death Grips and it is called ExMilitary.
The only suggestion that I have is that I think that you should listen to the record when you are reading the narrative. There is a YouTube link to the album on YouTube just underneath this paragraph.
youtube

Subatomic Penetration: A Narritive Piece on ExMilitary by Death Grips

A Depiction Of The Album Cover
Something feels unsettling about it. This man has either just done something bad or is about to. Feels like he's staring straight at you. You are looking into the face of death.
Introduction
What makes a person dangerous? Is it the unknown entity or the fear of someone's mind and what they might do?
Beware
“I don’t want to take my time going to work, I got a motorcycle and a sleeping bag and ten or fifteen girls! What the hell I wanna go off into – and go to work for? Work for what, money? I got all the money in the world! I’m the king, man, I run the underworld, guy! I decide whose does what, and where they do it at! What am I, gonna run around and act like I’m some teenybopper somewhere, for somebody else’s money? I make the money, man, I roll the nickels, the game is mine! I deal the cards.”
Both life and death start with darkness. The mind plays tricks on you when you're lost. To me nothing makes me more scared then not knowing what is around the next corner. I once had a purpose until that was stript away from me. Deep deep down underground, this underworld is where all of the lowlifes dwell. Reality is broken. I stomp around through these muddy sewers talking to myself, trying to find solace in lost moments of hope. The people up there, they don’t know what’s down here. When away from society, your ego is all that feeds you. I run this place, I am the beast of my own creation, I am my own religion. This all had to start somewhere.
Guillotine
In this world death is the only constant. Staring you in the face like a wolf, frothing at the mouth. Hungry for flesh and won’t stop at nothing to rip anything to shreds to get it. These animalistic tendencies are what drive me to do the things that I am capable of. It all has to start somewhere though, these things don’t just happen. I remember growing up with lights flashing before my eyes. Moving images that had intent, constantly consuming all of the shit. Death by car crash on the news here, beheading in works of so-called fiction there, it was inescapable. It all seemed so real to me, I was always hunting for my next fix and almost always got it. I don’t think that my parents ever thought about how the media could brainwash a young mind. School never meant much to me, more important things were on my mind.
Spread Eagle Cross The Block
16, out of School and discovered my vice, alcohol. I was in my prime, 6 Foot 5, bald with a beard. I could get in anywhere and they wouldn’t want to mess with me. Over-indulgence becomes normal when you’re that powerful. My Dad drinks and he owns a fucking big mansion out in the countryside so what does that tell you? I’m no longer there though, by the time I left School I was kicked out of my house and was told to be a man and get a job. To that I say fuck off. No mortal has the confidence that I do. When I want something, I take it.
Lord of the Game
As I grew older, at this point 18. I realized if I wanted to get anywhere regardless of my intentions, I needed money. It makes the world go round but how much is a dollar worth when you’re willing to do anything to get it. This shit hole neighborhood that I’ve been occupying was different to most other ones. All were these big houses with these glamorous cars on the drive. It makes me think to myself, “What? You think you’re better than me?”. It just sickens me to the pit of my stomach. This community seemed closed off from the rest of the world. Leaving their doors open during broad daylight, that’s how much unspoken trust there was. Rarely were the police around to lock people up, treating people like animals. I took matters into my own hands. I was living in an unmanned garage at the time and each day from 11AM till 2PM there would be a tiny little window of opportunity within the neighborhood where people wouldn’t be at home. For me it was time to start growing my empire. Entering these empty houses and swiping phones and gadgets off of counters. After feeling satisfied with the amount that I claimed during the day, at night I would go to town and start selling this useless shit for 10 or 20 dollars a pop to people who thought that the trash would help them out in some way. My wallet slowly started bulking at the seams after a while.
Takyon (Death Yon)
Even older now, I’m 21 and just stealing stuff for money wasn’t gonna cut it by itself anymore. Even more was required, anything for that rush. Making money from those poor saps has worked out quite well and I bought myself a little negotiation device. A revolver that will blow anyones head clean off if they decide to fuck with me. Now I’m going into stores and shit and robbing it for all of what their fucking worth, nothing but a bullshit capitalist society. Being on the run has never has never felt sweeter. Knocking people's doors down and scaring them into silence, no one is safe. I had to take my anger out on something. I didn’t have a car, being shielded in a box wouldn’t be threatening enough. To do this I had to just simply attack a member of the general public or just rob from some shop, something like that.
Cut Throat
2 have felt death at my hands and 3 heads have been blown off. I can’t be stopped.
Klink
Those fucking pigs!! I was done for. Caught strangling someone with a bike chain in an alleyway at 23 years old. They pounced on me within seconds of seeing it. Nothing that one human being can do against 3 representatives of the state. I was then shoved into a tiny cramped police van and then we drove down a bumpy road to the nearest prison. No court was staged to let me defend myself, I was just caught red handed and had no time to get out of there. They system had fucked me up bad. A stone fortress with the walls covered in thick layers of blunt barbed wire. Don’t think that Sabu would be able to even survive that. Adapting to life in that shit hole was weird to say the least. Tiny little morsels of food being slid through hatchets and seeing the abuse that inmates would endure by people with badges pierced on tier blue shirts. Having your basic human rights being stripped away from you can’t do a person any favors. You need to learn how to survive out here, it’s a dog-eat-dog world in these walls. Even if I saw my fellow inmates get beat up, we weren't too kind to each other either. Being trapt like this can really change your inner workings, it makes people go off the rails and turns them into savage beasts where only the rules of the jungle apply. There's a hierarchy here and it makes no fucking sense. Just because you’ve been in the longest doesn’t make you any better and it certainly doesn’t give you any power. To prove that that this system was bullshit I went to this so-called leader and beat the fuck out of him. Safe to say that I was not only respected but feared afterwards. Everything in that prison changed after that day. Just counting the days down as things become very monotonous. Seeing these same stone walls and bars everyday. I’ve had enough, will I ever get out of here?
Culture Shock
SO SOFTLY A SUPERGOD DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sounds of drills fill the room as I slowly start to find my way out of this hell. Luckily my eventual change in status helped me as I was blessed with some support from my inmates. For my good fortunes they had crafted a small power drill out of parts of scrap metal gathered from the yard and around the jail. This all happened at the dead of night where most of the pigs had left the jail and there were very few out on watch. However these so-called “security guards” for the most part were lazy fucks who just wanted power when they could be bothered. They were asleep like the barnyard animals that they were. This gave us a small window for potential escape. Using the power drill there were about 4 or 5 of us plowing at my jail cell wall. This took a while of hard work and pressure but eventually after minutes felt like hours, some rubble fell out of the wall by the power of this trusty drill. A small, just about sizable hole was crafted as we scurried out like rats escaping the great maze that the scientists had trapt us in, making our way into the land of opportunity in the dead of night, oh what a familiar site. Free at last!
5D
Freedom felon life had never tasted so sweet.
Thru these Walls
If you’re delusional, your call will be transferred to the mothership.
I’m out with a gang with terrible plans in our hands. Once again verging on criminal intent, “do to others as they don’t to you”. That’s my mantra and the statement that I live by now. We have now found a place to call our own, my past took us to the garages where I used to lay low at when I was younger. Where I used to keep watch over the rich people's houses in hopes of stealing when they were away. With these felons, they look up to me, I’ve become somewhat of a ring leader. I thought that I had the power to put people to sleep forever before but now I’ve got the power of numbers. They’ve seen in that jail cell hell of what myself and my body are capable of. Unimaginable strengths of violence and anger can be had on anyone at any time. These people worship the ground that I walk on, they’ve all even shaved their head bald like me. Me and my minions are gonna fuck this shit up!
Known For It
With our goal in mind of running this world, we march on from the garages to bigger and better places. Places of wealth and grandeur, banks and shit. We got to the point where we had a company car of sorts and by that I mean our getaway. We stole it when some clueless fucker left in near our homebase. We pulled up to one of the biggest banks in town and entered through the front entrance and chaos ensued. We were all packing heat as again we started selling the shit that we were stealing and gaining new “advantages”. Thertaning spectators and pointing our guns at the bankers. For some fucking stupid reason they didn’t have a vault in this place so these pussies just gave us cash in hand and just for that we splattered their brans against the walls in return. Alarms were going off as me and my gang of felons fled the scene.
I Want It I Need It (Death Heated)
As we drive away I think to myself that I may be addicted to the bloodshed. I’ve brutally murdered so many people now, I’ve honestly lost track of my hit list. The rush, there’s not anything in this universe like it. I just want my hands round some poor twats throat, making them change colors, from purple to white like a chameleon except this lizard is on their deathbed. Sex doesn’t do shit for me, only terror does. This feeling, I can almost picture my childhood and what made me do these things but it’s far too hazy. My life flashes before my eyes constantly from the prison cell to staring in front of the..Oh wait that’s it, it’s the fucking media like it always is. Those lost years spent gazing at the TV, really my position now is all thanks to it. I would have never done these acts in my life if it wasn’t for seeing those car crashes and now my life is that but I must go deeper. Deeper inside my mind pondering my violent thoughts and blood red imagination. This is the best kind of drug, doesn’t harm myself, only others. I don’t feel anything but glad after I killed someone after I killed someone within a pool of their own blood. As these crazy thoughts in my mind begin to clear after the trance that I was lost in, the Police begin to chase us. We go on from 9PM till 11PM crashing through country lanes. Plowing over fresh crash, killing cows as we go by. Eventually we collide with a well and notice that the pigs have lost track of us. Where could we be? We have no fucking idea. We decide to abseil using the rope from the wells bucket down, getting deeper and deeper discovering a new dark civilization.
Blood Creepin
That’s how we got here. Deep deep down underground, this underworld is where all of the lowlifes dwell. Reality is broken. I stomp around through these muddy sewers talking to myself, trying to find solace in lost moments of hope. The people up there, they don’t know what’s down here. When away from society, your ego is all that feeds you. I run this place, I am the beast of my own creation, I am my own religion. Here for what seems like an eternity until one day we will rise and violence once again rear its ugly head.

Madre AU BWW lore dump!
Tumblr media
I saw some ppl suggesting I should go ahead and dump out all my platonic lore so I’m doing just that! If this ends up messy my cope is that it’s a hot summer day and I’m being cooked alive and I can’t think straight— under the cut because it is long
Tumblr media
So MC is Vanity, my bww oc! She’s 16 here and gets pulled in by Madre to become a heartbreaker to then become a maestro, with the promise of being able to finally leave this world and enter OffWorld so she can finally be at peace from all the pain and confusion, and through becoming a heartbreaker meets 4 new friends along the way!
What is a heartbreaker?: basically the title you’re given for the job you’re doing, which is taking people’s broken hearts and giving it to Madre! I haven’t fully decided yet whether Madre sends you after certain people or just ‘go get this amount of hearts if possible’ but I have decided you can go to her and ask for a ‘shift’ if you just wanna go take hearts on your free time like if you’re bored or trying to get your mind off something
-> What happens to somebody when their heart is taken?: They’ll be put into a state of emotional numbness/disassociation, Madre can actually eat hearts too, so if she eats that person’s heart,,, *poom* now you’re never gonna feel again— Tho I have been thinking recently about if there was a way to artificially make a heart for somebody that doesn’t have one anymore (not the organ heart like the spiritual feeling heart) I’ve also been thinking about the possibility of Balan not being able to have them come to his theater because they have no heart to fix anymore lol (maybe he’ll give them a heart tho awww 🥺🥺🥺)
Why does Madre need the hearts?: I haven’t fully decided yet— short answer is she needs it for power, tho I haven’t decided what the power is for, so far I’m thinking she needs the power to give power to and hire more heartbreakers, so it’s like workers keep this ‘business’ running! The people power the people ☺️
Who will Vanity meet?: She’s gonna meet (and make great friends) with Clarisse (I haven’t fully decided if thats her name yet) and Ru, who were there before her (Clarisse started working long before Ru did) as well as Lisa and Tenmei, who come after! (I also haven’t decided if Tenmei is his name yet—) They’ll all end up being best friends, help eachother work through situations with some occasional help from Balan, and end up making changes in each others lives! Lol Madre accidentally put together a group therapy program
-> Why is it 5 heartbreakers specifically?: Madre’s maximum number of heartbreakers is 7 meanwhile her minimum is 3, She hired 5 specifically because she saw 5 potential and promising ‘employees’ + I, as the writer, felt like 5 was a good number to stop at since it would have a main character (Also I like thinking about the sailor scouts)
Where does Balan come into play?: When Crystal (Vanity’s human name) was 14 her heart was broken, Balan was trying to pull her into the theater through tims, Crystal ignores the tims 2 times because she thinks they’re just toys or something, before eventually Madre got to her (in a human form!) before Balan could (I’m imagining by the third tim ignored he would’ve sent her a ticket to the theater, which she also would’ve ignored kajhebdksbey) And once Madre gets to Crystal, stuff I didn’t decide yet happens— Crystal’s in a bad mental state rn (She worked at some sort of big house event there was blood shed she saw shit she fell down the stairs and got brain damage went into a coma for 2 days—) and since her father is gone overseas (he doesn’t know about what happened) she kinda raises her, like she doesn’t live with her but she talks with her from time to time, offering comfort and even some lessons when needed! Madre through some magic means while she’s there, throws Crystal off of Balan’s radar, thus he’s not able to really find her too easily anymore, a lotta other stuff happens I didn’t decide yet and by the time she’s 16, Madre comes back (she left at some point but not without saying goodbye of course!) and offers her the job as a heartbreaker! Crystal is back on Balan’s radar though not in the same way as before, and he is now, get this, her homeroom teacher! (at some point, while during her age of 15, Balan went into his human disguise, got himself a job as a teacher, and set himself up a second life as a human! This man is damn miraculous alr idk how he did it.) a tidbit actually, he’s loved and appreciated by everyone he ever meets 💝 practically his whole neighborhood knows him!
-> Does Balan know about the heartbreakers?: I’m imagining that through all his years, he either didn’t know or thought it was some strange little urban rumor he’d hear among costumes sometimes and never gave it much thought, so when he finds out about Madre and what she does and that the heartbreakers are real he’s shocked! (And a little mortified) so of course, Balan being Balan, makes it his new main goal to get the heartbreakers out of their jobs, fix their hearts if possible, take back any and all broken hearts they stole, and just in general get in Madre’s way— (your children? No ma’am, MY children 🧍‍♂️) Side quest for him: If possible, take down Madre and end the whole heartbreaker business for good!
Are the heartbreakers designed?: Kinda, Lisa’s fully designed, As well as Vanity/Crystal, however I still gotta fully design Clarisse, Ru, and Tenmei. Clarisse is the ONLY one that has a concept design, Ru and Tenmei have never once met paper 🙈
💖Fun fact!: After about 100 or so years of work (Balan is older and has been working longer than her), Madre decided to experiment with an employee line full of teenagers, she figured out that somehow teens pull better results than the adults did, so after that experiment she went full on to hiring mostly teenagers, only in rare cases letting there be adults, to eventually just fully teenagers!
Tumblr media
And that’s a wrap! Tysm for sticking through this whole article of a post! If you actually did read the whole thing I’m honestly kinda surprised anyone would be interested my lore dump for a platonic self ship oc 😳 I’m thinking of posting more AU tidbits and stuff in the future, and thank y’all for giving me the kinda go-ahead to dump this out on you! Have a good day (੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭

hewwo hewwo i finally finished fire emblem engage! i played on normal classic just to get a feel of the game and am planning on replaying on lunatic classic with only the guys bc my favorite way of having fun is stressing out over tiny things lol
but ya it was really fun and nostalgic and felt like a giant love letter to the series. i picked up on a lot of references even for the games that i didn’t play (ex: the bootleg julius and ishtar on sigurd’s map) and it was really hype seeing characters from past games (ephraim hi ilu!) anyway more thoughts below
ok the story was actual garbage lmao 4/10 but i was not expecting much since the primary focus of the game was clearly on the emblem rings. the first half of the story felt really slow and i hated how they gave all the villains sob stories before they died in a half-assed attempt to get you to feel bad for them. it would’ve been alright if there was some build-up but no it was just backstory then dead. i actually felt like the story had similarities to fates and i got suspicious and looked up the writers for fates and engage and lo and behold the main writer for fates is the main writer for engage which explains a lot LMAO
still there were some good parts so it’s not as bad as fates! i really liked the chapter where you fight the mc’s mother for the last time and the corrupted version of her had more of a possessive obsession with the mc rather than the motherly love at the beginning of the game. i thought that was really well done in showing that contrast
maps were boring in the beginning but a lot of the later maps made up for it! i think my personal favorite was the map where you have to fight griss and he uses celica to warp into the shadows waiting to surprise nuke you because that shit made me anxious LOL also probably my fave part of the game was how they featured a map from each game and remixed some of the older music alsksksk i got so giddy seeing lucina’s map
fates still has the best gameplay imo but this game was really fun! they did a good job at making each emblem feel unique while referencing their abilities from their respective games and i loved that a lot
speaking of which, micaiah, sigurd, byleth, and lyn are so ridiculously strong i wanna know what they were thinking when designing them alskskala
an issue that most fire emblem games have is that they don’t really do a good job at balancing characters (like why use any cav in sacred stones when you can just use seth lol) and that’s still true for engage (reclassing kagetsu into a wyvern knight gives him better stats than rosado despite rosado joining much later lmaoaakkaks) but equipping an emblem ring helps to alleviate those problems and make every character usable which i really appreciated
i won’t comment too much on character personalities since i mainly fielded the royals and they already got a lot of screen time so the others ended up neglected. disliked alcryst and hortensia, neutral to diamant (he’s hot but so boring), and i liked ivy, timerra, fogado, celine, and alfred. i especially liked the contrast of alfred’s “i believe in second chances and try to see the best in everyone” to celine’s “sometimes murder is the answer”
speaking of alfred, i ended up marrying him. he wasn’t my first choice even though i really like him, but i accidentally spoiled myself to his solo ending and i was like “NOT ON MY WATCH” and married him lol
anywayyyy i’ll probably start writing for fe engage soon hehehe

I'm new to tumblr so is this how you do request? May I request the brothers forgetting mc's birthday and later remembering it. How would they react? Maybe they were busy or something. Your choice if you wanna do the dateables too.
Trigger warning
Mentions of Angst/sad/slight comfort
Lucifer
Busy almost all the time, the first-born barely spent time with our dear Mc. He would try to finish the work only for more to be slammed on his desk.
Never would his brothers acknowledge his efforts or the sacrifices he made for them. Instead they'd mock him. Mock him for being absent at all family times. Mock him for doing what he does.
It was once again such a time, such a day. They didn't bother to care what the day has held for his beloved. It was their birth.
The birth of the one who truly changed his life along with his brothers. It was such a blessing yet he forgot about it. Entirely.
The Avatar of pride was strong, Lucifer wasn't. He was weak. Vulnerable. Especially against his brothers whom he adored with his entire being.
And the mocking words had stabbed him deeply, which made his current state as to how it was. Drunk. Wounded. Crying.
Rubbing his eyes, he awoke to a mess of his office which screamed the need for cleanliness.
During the process, he found the calender. A sweet calender gifted him by his doll.
A smile had crept on his face as he lifted it for what? Perhaps to calm the unsettling feeling in his bones that told him to run but where he didn't know?
While their lover was, Mc wilted much like a delicate flower would if the sun stopped shinning, they were laying curled on the floor of his room. Mc needed him.
How could he forget his own lover's birthday?! even after he promised... it hurts.. so much...
Yesterday. The poor human cut the cake wished themselves a happy birthday when he didn't...crying...in pain...
The realization hit hard. He ran to Mc's room as fast as he could. A shiver ran his spine and the horror in his stomach grew as each and every step was taken.
Yet could not find them, so he went over to his office expecting a fuming Mc.
He was once again not right, for his beloved was breaking down as he took them into his arms. Consoling.
He apologised and comforted them. Reassuring them over and over again. Reminding them his heart still is with them and no-could ever take it away.
He later threw a party, just like how you wanted. You. Him. And the growing fragrance of the candles surrounding you both.
Though late as it may have been, it was the best birthday the innocent human had. Smiling while he kissed your knuckles, he asked for your hand in marriage.
Never had you expected this...
"I Found the reason for my smile, the day I found you. Will you let me be the reason for your smile and marry me, my love?"
Mammon
As most had expected, he forgot your birthday due to witches or the modeling gig, he did not.
Instead he forgot about preparing your birthday gifts. His excitement had always gotten the best of him.
The Avatar of greed did not have enough budget to prepare the gift you dearly wished for, therefore multiple part-time jobs and skipping RAD became more often.
Despite the scolding, he didn't bother and worked on, just imagining the smile you'd make once you saw what he got you.
''I'll make Mc smile. Just one more hour extra and the budget would be*chef's kiss* '' he thought as his co-workers packed their belongings up.
It was late night and the moons shined brightly over the streets of devildom however he wasn't much worried because it was not like your birthday the next day. (it was)
Stretching his arms, he woke up around 1:35 pm due to his fucked up sleep schedule, only to be greeted by your excited figure cuddling him.
Grey-haired demon thought it was the Delirium before the day itself. He was wrong.
At first he acted totally oblivious to the fact any special day was just around the corner. He knew that surprises even more better!!
And then your great mammon ignored you for a while to rid of the risk of you following him to the destination.
Though his plan was to get your hopes down, he ended up making you cry. It hurts a lot especially when the love of your life forgets your birthday afterall you gave him everything he wanted on his.
The visit was successful. He even had extras left to treat you!!!
The was big achievement for someone who hated working to the slightest, to work for 3 weeks and multiple jobs!!!
But before he left, the seller mocked him about being a damned day late for this gift could have been sold at a better price if not booked.
That is when it all clicked and he panicked. Today was your birthday! Oh shit!!
He rushed home back to you. As he ran, he planned how to ask for your forgiveness.
" Oi Mc I'm sorry!--Oh hell no!!" "Mc I fucked I am sorry, please forgive afterall I'm your first man.--fuck this shit imma just play smooth."
Panting, he paused right before the door of your room and knocked lightly. Seeking your permission to enter.
You lazily opened the door for him, tired after shedding many tears for him.
Mammon instantly knew what to do. "Oi Mc I'm sorry for not wishing ya' a happy birthday earlier but I was busy buyin you somethin', here darlin' close your eyes."
Hearing his apology, you felt oddly happy and followed his request. Soon you felt a soft cold metal cling to your wrist. A bracelet, huh.?
"Open y'er eyes, human." On your wrist was bracelet that said 'His human' and another matching one was on his wrist which said 'Their stupid' . (Now isn't that adorable?)
"I was savin' up for this, so ya' better appreciate it. Hmph!" Giggling you yelled 'I love you' at him making him blush immediately.
However, when he spoke, he spoke genuinely and not in tsundere.
"Ya' make my life worth living. You bring smiles to my face, and y'er touch shows me how much you love me and care for me. Y'er my friend and my lover. Happy Birthday!"
Leviathan
With envy filled to the brim, Leviathan was very focused upon you and having your attention only for himself. To not let anyone snatch you away for they could better be than him, he'd make notes to treat you like royalty and improve his guilt-tripping habits.
Guilt, regret, shame. His heart screamed within the confines of his chest, as he rubbed your back assuring you that he still loved and will continue to do so.
It was his envy. It had always been his envy. Who always held him captive like a bird in a cage, he struggled to break free. He just couldn't.
The fault was his for if he hadn't given in to the jealousy named poison, you would be happily celebrating your birthday rather than crying in his embrace.
The fault was his for if he hadn't screamed at your friends who just came to congratulate you about getting in a relationship with the demon you very much loved and to wish you a birthday.
They left because of him. Not because he humiliated them but he forgot his own lover's birthday and called them a pathetic cheater, as they didn't feel like reminding of what the day was. They had left off with their friends, returning at HOL at night only to get yelled at.
Caring friends as they were, they tried convincing Mc to leave which his love refused. So, they left pitying the poor human.
No-matter how much Mc begged her companions to stay, they didn't.
Oh the suffering for His Normie, they ran upto him vulnerable-ly and started hitting him weakly, breaking down. Why was he? Why was he like this?! Why must he always leave you crying due to his envy?!
"Hey easy...calm down please, I'm sorry. I really am sorry, please forgive me and I promise I will make everything right. Please." "How..?" "Please trust me. My love." "Are you sure..?" "Yes...yes...I love you..."
Could you really trust his statement? You wondered. He could forget his word much like how he forgot your birthday.
The great admiral of hell's navy was true to his word, and successfully united you again with those who almost abandoned you or it seemed like--but no they were just disappointed. They were never going to do such a thing.
The meet went smoothly, and soon the the sun was setting casting shadows along with dying light, it was a dreamy sight for anyone.
Leviathan had known that he still had to make upto you properly and therefore, he took you to the cosmos of frodane.
Red, blue, yellow, any colour you could possibly think of was there, shining as brightly you were.
Taking in a shaky breath, the Avatar of envy gave you a bouquet, each flower consisting different scent which complimented the other.
The shimmer in your eyes gave you away and he gave you a sweetly addicting kiss while mumuring...
"I always cause some mess. It is never your fault. I’m sorry for making you feel unhappy. I cannot believe that I cause hurt to you. You are my only hope for my life. I promise you that I will do my best to make a better version of myself for you, my 3rd waifu~"
-------------------------------------------------------
And here we go... the pain and the suffering. Lol
Hope you like it and stay safe everyone. ♡♡♡
Have a good day!

Aaa congrats on 666 :D you've been one of my favorite obey me blogs since I joined the fandom! can I request the brothers with an mc that looks/acts like they just walked out of a zombie apocalypse? Turns out that while the demons werent looking, things in the human realm went down hill ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
👀 I love this! Sorry this took so long! I hope you enjoy!
Lucifer
When Solomon popped down into the Devildom earlier, Lucifer had noticed that the sorcerer looked a tad… concerned. After he left, Lucifer thought nothing of it until the second human exchange student appeared brandishing a gun and looking like they hadn’t showered in eight days.
After managing to disarm the human and avoiding the baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, Lucifer managed to explain exactly why the human was in the Devildom and what was going on. In return, the human calmed down and explained what was going on in the human world.
…geez, shit really hit the fan. Uh… Lucifer wished them luck in their exchange year and foisted them off on Mammon. Lucifer was not about to deal with that right then.
(Apparently one of Solomon’s necromancing acquaintances had something to do with the mini apocalypse going on in the human world. Lucifer and MC were assured that the zombie problem was being dealt with)
As confused and annoyed as Lucifer was at first, he quickly became glad that the human had some kind of self defence on them. The Devildom was a dangerous place, and the human could nullify some of that danger by popping a bullet or twelve into some idiots’ heads.
But one of MC’s more annoying habits were their tendency to set traps and hoard food. They didn’t seem to grasp that lack of food wasn’t an issue and that there were plenty of spells in place to make sure-
Okay, Beel just raided the fridge. Maybe MC had the right idea. Up for sharing some spaghetti-o’s?
Mammon
Now listen here! The Great and Amazing and Mega-Sexy Mammon wasn’t scared of the human at all! Got it?! Good. He wasn’t scared of how dishevelled and dirty they were and how they looked like they just crawled out of a horror movie! Not at all! He also wasn’t scared of the baseball bat they threatened to hit him with if he continued to spout threats of eating them.
Pff, he wasn’t scared… totally not scared… *ahem*
Once the human took a bath and stopped pointing their various weapons at him, Mammon quickly began to warm up to the human in their own tsundere kind of way. Fine, he could admit that MC was kinda cool.
The one thing that Mammon just couldn’t deal with was MC’s traps… he kept setting them off while trying to get into MC’s room!
Oi! Don’t look at him like that! He wasn’t tryin’ to steal anything! He also wasn’t goin’ in there to hang out with the dumb human either! Wasn’t goin’ in there to check on em’ and make sure they were comfortable…
Mammon is also #2 in terms of food theft in the house. He just spotted ramen and decided that possibly getting hit with MC’s baseball bat of pain was worth getting his greedy little mitts on some dollar store noodles.
Leviathan
When Levi went downstairs to threaten Mammon for his money back, Levi immediately recoiled at the absolutely fowl smell coming from the human. Ew, normie stink was getting all over him! And why did they look like they just walked out of TellTale’s The Walking Dead?
Once MC explained their situation, Levi took it upon himself to mansplain the zombie apocalypse to the poor human that was going through it. He had played plenty of zombie survival games and he was surely the expert-
AAKSJAKAJANA- PUT THE BAT DOWN! HE’LL SHUT UP! HE’LL SHUT UP!
After that was over and done with, Levi decided it would be his job to reintroduce MC to some quality entertainment. There couldn’t be that many good shows to watch in the apocalypse, so MC (starved for entertainment) agreed to watch whatever Levi wanted.
Food hoarding? Been there done that. Levi keeps at least ten boxes of Pocky in his room at all times, and a crap ton of other snack foods too. That habit doesn’t phase Levi.
The traps on the other hand? HELL YES TEACH HIM MC! THAT’LL WARD OFF SOME SCUMMY MORONS! *insert Levi cackle here*
Satan
Satan was amongst the people who had the privilege of getting a gun pointed at them on the first day of the exchange program. He kept his fake little smile on his face, but he sure as hell wasn’t too pleased with the human.
He kept his distance at first, studying MC from afar and taking note of their weird little habits. Satan found it quite interesting how quickly this seemingly average human adapted to their new circumstances.
After the body switching incident and the murder train incident, Satan developed a fondness for MC. But… maybe MC shouldn’t have brought their weapons with them on one of their hangout sessions with Satan.
It was on that day that MC learned that Satan was as good a shot with a gun as they were… Rest in Pieces to the idiot that decided fucking with the Avatar of Wrath would be a good idea.
The traps… oh yes the traps… that exact skill set transferred perfectly to pranks! Oh if MC would be so kind as to let Satan teach them the way of the bastard (tm) so the two of them could annoy that pompous peacock together?
Asmodeus
Ewwwww! What was that awful stench coming from the- EWWWWW! Why was the human so gross and dirty! Someone get the hose! They summoned a feral one!
Asmo was less concerned with the fact that the human was threatening everyone with an actual weapon and more concerned with how they smelled like a month old macaroni salad.
MC got a bottle of admittedly pleasant smelling soap thrown at them before Mammon dragged them off to the HOL.
Despite the nasty first impression, once MC took a much needed bath and washed all that gross grime off of themselves… they were honestly really hot… man, apocalypses should happen more often if they produce babes like MC~ *eyebrow wiggle*
Though, the poor human still needed some work, Asmo declared himself their fairy goddaddy (I regret ever learning how to type) and took every opportunity to make sure MC looked their best and took care of themselves.
MC’s odd habits don’t exactly phase Asmo much, I mean, look at who he lives with.
Beelzebub
…he doesn’t wanna eat this human.
Listen, Beel will eat anything, but if he has other options, he’s not eating the gross dirty human pointing a gun at him.
At first, Beel’s pretty neutral towards anything and everything MC ends up doing. They barricaded themselves in their room to keep safe out of habit? Okay. They scarily polish and clean their weapons out in the middle of the living room? So does Satan on occasion. They cleared out the fridge- wait they cleared out the fridge?
BEEL WAS GOING TO DO THAT! PREPARE TO BE EATEN, HUMAN!
MC miraculously survived a hungry Beel attack by chucking food at him until he calmed back down. Beel felt a little bad for scaring them, but anyone with more than five brain cells should know not to steal food from the Avatar of Gluttony.
Anyway, once the two get closer, Beel’s always there for a hug and comfort if MC needs it. Just don’t let him near the food hoard. He will reduce it to nothing in less than an hour.
More than 90% of the traps that get set off are set off by Beel trying to get into MC’s room for food.
Belphegor
Father Dammit, Belphie wanted a nice easy defenceless human to murder, not this Rambo-lookalike. Whatever, sure the human looked tough, but Belphie’s a demon.
Well… Belphegor’s plan went to shit when he was in the middle of choking the human, who pulled out a gun and nearly shot him in the eye. He ended up dropping them in surprise when the bullet grazed his face and ended up getting MC’s boot planted into his forehead.
Yeah… Belphie did not fare well. MC: 1 Belphie: 0
After that nonsense, Belphie demanded begged that MC become his full time nap guardian. They were scary and could protect him, the totally defenceless war criminal 🥺, come on MC, don’t be heartless!
Similar to Asmo, Belphie isn’t too phased by MC’s weird habits. As long as they don’t try and steal his pillows, he’s okay. Those traps though… perfect for a certain older brother of his…
He joins in on Satan’s crusade to get MC to join the Anti Lucifer League. Puh-LEEEEEEEAAAAAASE MC?

6. “Please don’t kill him.” “Nah, I just wanna talk.” - Miguel Galindo
Tumblr media
Summary: You went out to lunch with an old friend and didn’t tell Miguel, figuring it wouldn’t matter since he was away on business. But is he?
Pairing: Miguel Galindo x female reader 
Warnings: What may be perceived as toxic male behavior because...it’s Miguel We still love to see it though 🥴
Word count: 1.2K
A/N: this was also supposed to be a drabble, but here we are
Tumblr media
You threw your head back with a laugh as Joshua cracked another joke. He was funny, his comedic timing paired with his deadpan look having you in stitches nearly the entire lunch. He broke character at the sound of your snort and laughed with you, enjoying the company. To your right, your phone buzzed, and you glanced at it seeing Miguel’s name showing up. You ignored it, the restaurant loud with music and people. You probably wouldn’t be able to hear him anyway, or he wouldn’t be able to hear you. You knew he was going to be upset at you missing the call, especially with him being away down in Sinaloa. He was always worried about you when you didn’t answer, not that you could blame him. You knew that if you had told him where you were going though, he would have simply forbidden you from going.  You decided that you would call him back as soon as you left the bar and grill and shot him a text just to placate him.
Kinda noisy, won’t be able to hear you. I’m good though. I’ll call you later. Te amo 💗
You put the phone down, you and Joshua continuing to joke and laugh, deciding to order one more set of drinks before leaving. You glanced around the grill, eyes landing on the guards that you had brought with you, lest Miguel hang you when he found out you went out alone. You had taken the two oldest ones though, knowing that they were the only ones that trusted you enough to give you some space and sit at another table. The new ones took their jobs seriously though, at times too seriously, and you simply wanted to enjoy the afternoon, catching up with an old friend.
You watched as one of them spoke on the phone, the other listening intently. Suddenly they both looked up at you and you cursed, knowing that Miguel knew where you were. Someway, somehow, he knew you had gone out to lunch without letting him know first, and that meant he was going to have your ass when he saw you. Joshua stood up from the table and stretched, pointing over to the hallway in the back corner.
“I’m gonna head to the restroom real quick. Be right back.”
You used that opportunity then to climb off your own chair and make your way over to your guards. They apologized as soon as you were close enough.
“Sorry, patrona. He got home early and one of the new guys told him you were here.”
You sighed, nodding and motioned back to the table.
“It’s alright. I’ll hurry up and finish this drink and then we can all go home and get scolded.”
You chuckled softly but your driver shook his head.
“Don’t bother. He’s already on his way. May as well enjoy the drink.”
You cursed and heaved a sigh, seeing that Joshua was on his way back to the table now. You returned as well, seeing that your phone was lit up again.
No need. I’ll be there soon.
The words made your stomach twitch and you looked up as Joshua inquired.
“Who’s that?”
You put the phone down and tried to gather yourself, brain focused more on if Miguel was going to behave rather than the question at hand.
“Uh, Miguel.”
“Oh, cool! Is he back? Is he gonna be able to make it? I’d love to meet him.”
You laughed anxiously and nodded.
“Yeah, actually. Since he was gone, I didn’t tell him that I was coming out with you though so,”
Your childhood best friend nodded with a chuckle, eyes glancing over at your guards.
“Yeah, maybe that wasn’t the best choice. He seems like the kinda guy that likes to have a handle on things.”
You hadn’t gotten into the details with your old partner in crime, but he had always been a smart guy. Despite you not having really given much away, he had observed enough to be able to connect the dots.
“He’s not gonna try to beat my ass, is he? Because you know I can’t fight.”
You choked as you tried to swallow another sip of your drink, the image playing in your mind of what he had looked like that time a football player had started shit with him.
“What, you don’t think your helicopter arms will do the trick?”
“He’s your man so if he starts something, it’s mandatory that you fight him while I make a getaway.”
You laughed, even though you knew his sarcastic hypothetical was actually somewhat realistic. The movement to the left caught your eye and you looked over to see Miguel walking towards you, a stiff smile gracing his lips as he locked eyes with you. Standing beside you now, he leaned down to kiss your temple.
“Nice to see you, mi amor.”
You nodded and motioned over to Joshua, figuring it would be best for you to do the introduction.
“This is Joshua, he was my best friend in middle and high school. He’s in town for vacation.”
Miguel nodded, his charming smile on display as he held his hand out.
“Nice to meet you, Joshua. Sorry I couldn’t make it on time.”
Your friend shook his head, calming down some now that the interaction was going much more smoothly than he was anticipating.
“No worries man. I’m sure you’ve got a lot of stuff to do.”
Miguel nodded, placing his hand on your shoulder softly.
“Yes, I can be a busy man. Still, if my wife had told me about these plans,”
He looked down at you, his eyes promising that you would be getting an earful once you both returned home.
“I would have tried to make arrangements. But!”
Miguel looked back up at Joshua this time, showcasing a warm grin.
“I managed to make it.”
You nodded, a nervous chuckle pushing past your lips.
“We actually just finished, Miguel. We paid the bill, we just got these as a last round. I told Dita I would be home within the hour so we should start heading back.”
You stood from your stool, holding onto Miguel’s side and giving a slight pleading squeeze. Miguel looked back at you and then down at his watch, feigning concern.
“Oh. Well, you better get going then, my love. She’ll be waiting on you. I’m feeling…famished though. I think I might stay and get to know Joshua here. Get us another round, on me.”
His smile was petty, and you sighed, Joshua shockingly agreeing.
“You’re good, go ahead. I know you said you had to be home soon.”
The childish look on Miguel’s face at him agreeing was beyond annoying and you held your hands up in defeat, grabbing your purse and tugging Miguel along with you.
“Walk me out.”
Miguel agreed and told Joshua he would be right back, walking with you outside, your guards coming along. Once at your car, you turned around suddenly, your finger pointing at Miguel as threateningly as you could manage.
“Play nice. I mean it.”
Miguel simply grabbed your finger gently and pulled it away from his face, opting to hold your hand instead.
“I will.”
You stared for a handful of seconds more before nodded and unlocking your car.
“And wait until I see that new guy.”
Miguel laughed and held the door open as you climbed in, knowing the guard was in for it for ratting you out.
“Please don’t kill him.”
“Nah, I just wanna talk.”

Could you please write the brothers with a genderfluid MC? You’re writing is so amazing! 😍😍
At what temperature does gender fluid become a solid? It varies, welcome to my bad jokes and fluffy headcanons
I use they/them pronouns for this MC throughout the headcanons for ease of reading, but naturally some genderfluid people use multiple sets of pronouns which may or may not include they/them. Know that the brothers would absolutely use whatever pronouns you tell them to!
Also uhhhhhhhhhh… this ended up including some of my HCs about the “brothers’” genders as well. Quick rundown of that, I see Luci, Mammon and Beel as trans guys, Levi as genderfluid but an egg (ie. closeted/still figuring himself out), Satan as demigender/Spite, Asmo as genderfluid/nonbinary, and Belphie as agender/*snoring cow noises*
No I don’t always use these headcanons when writing requests, and in this all the characters are still referred to with he/him pronouns, but if people do want to see more of my Obey Me gender HCs, feel free to ask!
Also thank you for the compliment uwu I definitely did not turn beet red and spin in my chair for several minutes after reading it
The Brothers With a Genderfluid MC feat. some Trans/NB Brothers HCs
Lucifer
When MC first showed up to the Devildom, their presentation didn’t match the gender Lucifer had on file
He didn’t think anything of it, just quietly made a note to correct the information later
But then a couple of weeks later MC starts presenting differently and he’s like, “??? Oh wait I get it”
Decides that the easiest thing to do is just approach MC directly and ask them what they’d like him to write on their file
If they ever got a hold of it, they would see a couple scribbles on it lol
Lots of things give Lucifer headaches
MC’s gender is never one of them
He takes any fluctuations in stride: change of name? Sure. Multiple names? No problem. Feeling more masc/fem but don’t want to go through the effort of necessarily presenting that way? Just let him know how to refer to you and he’ll follow your lead
It’s a complete non-issue for him basically, totally normal
Though because for him gender is a Private Matter, he won’t make a big deal of it unless he senses that they’re nervous about it and his reaction
In that case, he will assure them that he’s not acting the way he is to be cold, he just doesn’t want to make them feel othered or like a spectacle
Will Not talk about his own past though, unless you’re really really Really Super Mega Close
Perhaps post-pact he might be more forthcoming...
Mammon
Wait, so MC has to buy multiple wardrobes?? Isn’t that expensive?
Not necessarily how it works bud, but go off
His most common nickname for MC is “human”, so no need to worry about any accidental misgendering there
Should any gendered terms/pronouns come up though, Mammon might stumble a bit at first, before he knows MC’s rhythm and preferences
Not in a “ugh it’s too hard to keep track” way but in a “oh shit I don’t wanna get this wrong” way, you know?
This resulted in a lot of “MC’s so stubborn, h— sh— they— OY HUMAN! WHICH PRONOUNS IS IT TODAY?”
While in the Devildom changing names and pronouns aren’t really a big deal, if MC doesn’t like extra attention being drawn to themself this way, they’ll quickly figure out a system to let Mammon know how to refer to them
It makes his whole tsundere act infinitely funnier tbh
Hard to play the “I don’t care about you” card when you meticulously respect someone’s identity and always ensure they feel comfortable
Nooooo, he totally didn’t get MC that outfit they were wishing for because it’s easy to make more masc or fem!! That’s ridiculous!! NO DON’T LOOK AT HIS CREDIT CARD RECEIPT—!
Leviathan
*Leviathan has added Gender Envy to his list of envies*
Someone please crack this egg, he’s got a job in there it’s been so long
I hc that Levi is genderfluid, but because Insecurity and deeply internalized transphobia some Certain Corners of human world fandom, he’s never tried just casually presenting differently
When it’s a costume/cosplay people are generally receptive, but would they accept it if it was just him?
But seeing a genderfluid MC? Either just casually doing their thing, or quietly confiding in him about their identity? It gives him hope
His Henry understands!
If MC is still experimenting with presentation or names/pronouns, Levi is super supportive, even if his proposals are very… particular
And through helping them, he gets a bit more comfortable with himself as well
He’s still a bit nervous to officially come out, that lingering fear and doubt is hard to kick, but it’s nice to know he has someone who will stick by him no matter what
He’ll do little things with MC, if anyone asks he’ll say it’s in solidarity with them, but his brothers start to pick up that something Else is going on
Do Levi and MC get matching TSL pride pins at some point? :3c
It’s at this point that Asmo, known Gender Trapeze Artist, loses his shit and Demands that the others let him help Levi with his Gender Makeover, but they all furtively tell him to zip it. Levi will tell them when he’s ready, and IF he wants help with anything
Satan
Satan has more Spite than gender, but is very intrigued by the concept of gender fluidity
Asks a Ton of questions, not out of ignorance but curiosity over the particulars of MC’s specific experience
He’s internally comparing it to his own, as well as others he knows — it’s interesting to see the differences in how humans and demons understand gender!
If MC’s not down to talk about it or gets annoyed by the questions, he’ll of course back off and apologize
He knows there’s a lot of issues in the human world with people asking invasive questions and feeling entitled to trans people’s entire life stories
However if MC accepts and even reciprocates his curiosity?
*Accidentally acquires a degree in Devildom Gender Studies*
Is always ready to help MC stand up for themself and assert their identity
No one misgenders them on his watch
No One
Asmodeus
TWINS!!!!! :D
Asmo is very excited to find out the human exchange is just like him!!!
Okay, they might not necessarily be exactly like him in terms of presentation: maybe MC prefers a more consistently masc/fem style, or is more lowkey in general, or— oh no, they’re not too insecure to even try to present how they’d like to, right?!
If MC does find something about their presentation lacking or unsatisfactory, Asmo is 3000% willing and ready to help
But more importantly, if it’s MC’s confidence he cares about most
He’ll help an insecure MC find their inner strength and confidence, and be the Best Hype-Person for an MC who’s already confident
Asmo’s brand of genderfluidity is usually pretty loosey-goosey, his general sense of fashion leaning more towards the fem side but internal identity swinging about wildly, but should he and MC ever “synch up” at any point, he Will make a joke about it and how it must mean they’re meant to be! ;p
Also knows the best tips for coping with fluctuating dysphoria because although he publicly hides it, sometimes it does get him down
It tends to blend into his pre existing issues with public image and his body and even with shapeshifting sometimes things just Don’t Feel Right
So if MC’s ever having a rough time, they know who to turn to
Beelzebub
Like Lucifer, he’s very chill about it
It’s the content of MC’s character that matters, not their gender
And he thinks they’re a great person, so any way they want to be referred to, he will respect it without question
If MC is the type to change their presentation to suit their feelings, he’s lowkey in awe that they pull it off so well
Even before he transitioned, Beel was never very good with fashion beyond finding what makes him most comfortable and what’s most practical
But he respects the skill, and sometimes wonders if it would have made some of his pre-transition time easier to cope with
However unlike Lucifer, he’s fine confiding in MC about his experiences if he thinks it will make them feel better
Lots of Support Hugs
Sometimes it feels like he’s trying to hug the dysphoria out of them
Also re: the Lilith thing, if MC ever feels Extra awkward being compared to Lilith because she was a girl and MC Isn’t, Beel will take extra care to remind them that he and the rest of the House of Lamentation love MC for who they are, not because of their connection to Lilith
Belphegor
Ughhhhhh that sounds like so much effort
Uhhh, explain yourself cowboy, and talk fast
Belphie’s not really a boy, but whatever.
See? That’s so fast, “ehh I don’t really Do the gender thing, k byeeee” Done
Or at least it would be if people weren’t so stupid and kept pestering him about it
But MC… if their gender changes over time and people ask about it, that must take so much explaining
Doesn’t it get annoying?
Ohhhh… He’s trying to empathize!
Belphie has a weird way of showing support, but he means well
Like Satan, he doesn’t take any shit vis a vis misgendering, but instead of righteous fury, it’s more of an exasperation
“Just use the right pronouns! It’s not that hard! Mammon can do it, for fuck’s sake, are you saying you’re so dumb you can’t keep track of what even he can?!”
If MC’s having a mini Gender Crisis because sometimes gender is just weird, Belphie will absolutely say something stupid like “Nah, your gender is just taking a nap. You should too. C’mere *grabby hands*”
He’s insufferable, but also a stalwart supporter of MC

The Two Factions—Red Embrace: Paradisus

THE FACTIONS (ft. Salvador)
Tumblr media
We’re taking a brief break from character introductions for something a little bit different today!
We’ve recruited Salvador, your first friend in the vampire underworld, to give us a brief rundown of the two main factions in Red Embrace: Paradisus. We’re quite fortunate that he took time out of his busy schedule to oblige us.
(Note: The following interview is an edited version of dialogue that will appear in next month’s Alpha build update.)
The NetiZen and the Lucaci Group
“You wanna know about the factions, huh?” Scratching his beard, Sal sniffs and twists his mouth to one side, apparently musing on your question.
“I’ll give you a little rundown, but you’re better off talking to the people who run the damn things.” He heaves a sigh, although you sense he’s not as disgruntled as he’s trying to be. “I wish they had info handouts or some shit, would make my job a lot easier.
“Well, first off, you have the NetiZen folks. Their name’s cheesy enough to induce cardiac arrest, but they’re smart—so smart it kinda scares me.” Sal shudders theatrically.
“They’re mostly young vampires, all wild about technology. They think it’s the future for our kind, our only hope of survival, that kind of shit.”
How do you think they’d react to MC?
“Eh, I’d say if MC makes a good enough impression, NetiZen would probably let ‘em in. They’re a lot friendlier to new vampires than old ones.”
Do they have a political ideology of some kind?
“Uh…maybe.” He doesn’t seem convinced. “I think they’re more about spiritual stuff than politics…oh yeah, and they like rave parties a lot. Does that tell you about their politics?” A little snicker.
“The other big corpse club out there is the Lucaci Group—though most people just call ‘em the Lucaci. It’s Romanian, I think. Really thematic, don’t you agree?
“Now, the Lucaci’s a bunch of traditional types, mostly older vampires, who’re filthy fucking rich. They basically own the Strip, and they’ve got a huge chunk of Vegas in their pockets.
“The group’s run by three dead folks…” He snaps his fingers a few times, then lets out a resigned sigh. “The names, uh, escape me. They’re weird people, but I gotta hand it to them—they do their best to keep the locals happy.”
And what would they think of MC?
Sal ponders this for a moment, squinting slightly. “That’s tricky. The Lucaci would probably let MC work for ‘em, but they’d really have to bring their A-game.”
Do they enforce any rules on other vampires, since they’re so powerful?
“You’d think they would, but for the most part, they don’t bother.” He smirks wryly. “Probably because it’s easier for them to just throw money at whatever problems people cause. Enforcing rules takes a lot of time and money. Not worth it.
“They do have a beef with the NetiZen kids though, and vice versa, so just be aware of that. It’s not open war or anything, but if you play nice with one…the other will probably tell you to go fuck yourself.
“But yeah, that’s the factions.” Sal claps his hands together with satisfaction. “Once all this chaos blows over, maybe MC will join one. Or maybe they won’t.”
He pauses, his eyes glimmering devilishly in the light. “Just a roll of the dice.”
